Display malfunctions
If your gaming console's screen has suddenly disappeared, started to scratch, or no longer displays an image, look no further. Try these repair techniques:
Step 1: Examine the cable connections
Start by checking if the connection wire is properly connected. If not, remove it and put it back in immediately, squeezing it carefully. If it still doesn't work, test another HDMI cable to see if the first one is damaged. A word of advice, make sure your console is plugged into the correct HDMI channel on your television.
Step 2: Scan the console's HDMI port
The LED color on your PS5 does not indicate any problem, and despite this, your screen does not display. This failure surely comes from the HDMI port. To overcome it, first see if the port rod has sunk or broken. Then try lifting it to avoid unwanted cable disconnections.

4. Update your network settings;
5. Change your Wifi antenna;

Damage to the CD player
Does your CD player reject the discs you insert? Or does he simply not recognize them? Several reasons can justify these behaviors. Here's how to do it.
• If the player picks up the disc but does not play it, carefully check whether the CD is too scratched or broken. He may be rejected for this. If the problem is not with the disc, it is rather the lens of the player that is to blame. In this case, it must be renewed.
• If the player makes too much noise and then ejects discs, its operating system is damaged. Then, you have to replace the mechanism with a new one.
• If the player does not make any signals, it does not even turn on, accept or eject discs, then its motor has failed. It should be completely renewed.

Increased noise level
The causes of a noisy PS5 are multiple. Depending on these, here are some suitable solutions.
• When you play a game that requires a lot of ventilation, the noise from the console increases. At this level, it is advisable not to overuse these types of games to preserve the effectiveness of the console.
• When the console fan has a mechanical problem, it makes more noise. Here its change is the best solution.
• When a large amount of dust affects the PS5 fan, it produces a very high-pitched noise. In this case, careful cleaning of the entire ventilation system is recommended. Using a compressed air can is an excellent idea.
Malfunction of the controllers
It's a shock for any gamer to have non-functional controllers. Whether they turn off quickly, are not recognized or even do not turn on at all, there is an adequate solution.
• If your wireless controller turns off quickly or doesn't even turn on, it's very likely that the problem is with the battery. Recharge it for a good period of time. If the problem persists, it's time to change the battery.
• If the controller is not recognized by the console, it may be due to the USB connector. Try connecting the same controller with another console to see if the problem is caused by it. Then connect the console to another controller to see as well. If you identify where the problem is, proceed to replace the connector.
We hope that these tips will allow you to detect and then correct a fault on your PS5 . However, be careful if the breakdown is more complex than you expected; going to a repairer would be the best option!
